SAAG

Serum-Ascites Albumin Gradient

For education. Check every result.

Anatium is a study resource, not medical advice. Nothing here is a diagnosis, a prescription or a substitute for a clinician who has seen the patient. Check every number against a current local protocol before it touches anyone, and never act on a result you cannot reproduce yourself.

Fill in every field above, then select Calculate.

How it is calculated

SAAG = serum albumin - ascitic albumin. It has replaced the old transudate/exudate split because it identifies portal hypertension with about 97% accuracy, and that is the distinction that changes management.

About
